- Fox kept cool at baked Birkdale to win The Open with a dramatic final-hole birdie, per converging BBC Sport and Sky Sports headlines
- Sam Burns endured another close call at The Open, per CBS Sports' headline — again suffering a major miss and stretching his winless record at golf's biggest events
Why it matters: For Fox, the closing-birdie win transforms a career of solid play into a major championship; for Burns, the CBS headline's "again suffering major miss" makes plain that his near-miss pattern at majors continues.
